JetBrains Releases ReSharper 4.0

Prague, Czech Republic, June 10, 2008 — JetBrains, the creators of
intelligent,
productivity-enhancing applications, today announced the release of ReSharper version
4.0, the company's
award-winning productivity add-in for Microsoft Visual Studio. This release is
spearheaded by
across-the-board support for C# 3.0 language, including LINQ, and Microsoft Visual
Studio 2008 in
general. In addition, the upgraded add-in features multiple new usability and
productivity-boosting
tools, such as standard class library annotations, solution-wide analysis (for C#),
versatile code
cleanup, new automated refactorings, new and improved code-editing capabilities, and
more.

"In this release, we have adopted the latest C# specifications to provide the most
up-to-date support for
.NET developers," said Valentin Kipiatkov, JetBrains CTO. "We not only put great effort
into supporting
all of the features of C# 3.0, but, in keeping with our tradition, added a number of
intelligent tools
to make those language features much easier to work with."

Significant improvements and new features in ReSharper 4.0 include:

Comprehensive support for C# 3.0 - ReSharper not only analyzes new language
constructs, but displays
suggestions to help migrate to C# 3.0, as well as new warnings to comply with best
programming
practices. It implements C#3.0-ready refactorings and completes your code with
extension methods,
lambda expressions, and other new language constructs where appropriate.

Annotations for .NET Framework Class Library - Annotations come with a special set
of custom
attributes that greatly enhance the quality of ReSharper's code analysis, such as
the location of
possible NullReferenceEx. Even more rewarding is that the set of attributes is
available for all
users to annotate their own code.

Solution-Wide Analysis - ReSharper looks for erroneous C# code in your whole
solution on the fly,
that is, without compiling it first. It can discover errors which cannot be detected
by analyzing a
single file.

Code Cleanup - A flexible code compliance and formatting tool that brings together a
dozen of
ReSharper features. In addition to fine-tuning formatting style, you can opt to
remove code
redundancies, migrate to anonymous types and auto-properties, make fields read-only
if possible,
optimize using directives, and revamp your C# code with many more settings. Code
Cleanup works in
batch mode, so that you can instantly clean the whole project or even solution with
a single
shortcut.

New refactorings - New members of the refactoring family are available, including
Inline Method and
a pack of C# 3.0-specific refactorings. For VB.NET, all refactorings that were
previously limited to
C# 2.0 are now available for Visual Basic 8.

Productivity features and performance enhancements:

Complete Statement - Inserts the necessary syntax elements (braces,
semicolons etc.) and
gets you in position to start the next statement, saving on excessive
juggling with the
caret.

CamelHumps in Code Completion - Lets you complete any symbol by entering
only its uppercase
characters.

As before, ReSharper continues to target a variety of user groups. In addition to the
full-featured
ReSharper 4.0, we are offering two specialized editions: C# and VB.NET. These
language-focused editions
exclude a part of the functionality to provide significant savings to end users. To
eliminate any
confusion, there's now a single download package for all editions.

ReSharper 4.0 is available under commercial and personal licensing. Those who purchased
version 3.0 or
3.1 under a special offer are eligible to upgrade for free. 30-day full-featured
evaluation is available
for anyone who would like to give ReSharper a try.

JetBrains maintains its headquarters in Prague, Czech Republic, with its R&D labs located
in St.
Petersburg, Russia and Boston, Massachusetts. For more information, see http://www.jetbrains.com.
